By this means the window is prevented from rattling and is perfectly jointed, and the sill ledge engaging beneath it will prevent the window from opening by itself in consequenceof violent shocks. The use of this sill was induced by the recognition of the also be fitted to the inside of the window. In this case an ordinary pressure or sup-- porting ledge may be employed in place ofthe usual sill, which ledge will then have the object of supporting-the window in its hi best position.

In the constructional formshown in Figs.

. 6 to 8 the arrangement, as said above, is such, that the upper pressure frame Wlll bear against the window, not only when the latter is in its highest position but at all intermediate positions, so that the window will be securely held and all rattling will be prevented. This is obtained by the upper pressure frame being coupled to the lower one in such a manner, that it will be controlled in a positive manner by the lower one which is operated by hand and the crank handle, so that it will be lifted from the window, contrary to the forces acting on it, only when the lower frame has been moved into the position necessary for moving the window. In the constructional form shown in the said figures this coupling of the upper and lower pressure frames is obtained by the former engagingwith a nose behind the latter. The dimensions are so chosen, that the lower frame will operate the upper one,

when moved back for releasing the window, after it has released the window and the latter can thus be moved. The lower pressure frame is moved into such posit-ion only when the window is-to be moved, and must therefore be loosened. At all other positions of the frame (and therefore at all positions which the said frame will have when the window is lowered either entirely or partly and is to remain in such position) it'will not affect the upper frame, and the latter will be only underthe action of the springs which force it against the window, so that the window is tightly held.

As may be seen from Figs. 6 to 8 the upper frame Q is under action of the springs 9L which tend to force it. against the window F. On the lower frame the springs .9 act in exactlv the same sense, the same as with the In Figs. 7 and 8 the crank K and its accessories have been omitted for sake of greater simplicity, and the parts .are shown in the position, at which the window may be freely moved. The lower frame R has been forced toward outside by means of the bars C and D and the levers g, 9 (Figs. 3 and 4),

contra ry.to the action of springs s, so that it has released the frame of the window F. At the same time the lower frame R has also moved from inside toward the nose Q and has thereby moved back the upper frame Q,

contrary to the action of the springs 21,, so that this frame will no more hold the window and the latter may be freely moved.

Fig. 8 shows the parts in the position, which they assume after the crahk handle has been released while the window is standing in any position. The cam disk E (Fig. t) has been returned into its position of rest, the bars C and D are likewise returned into their position of rest, and the lower frame R has therefore been able to follow the action of the springs s and to bear against the window frame, so that the latter is held tightly. At the same time also the nose Q and with it the upper frame Q have'been re leased, so that it'can bear under action of the springs n, against the window frame. The window will thus be tightly held both at the upper and at the lower portion of its frame,

also in the intermediate'positions as shown,

and all rattling will be avoided.
